| Haste not thine wisdom, for the hollow is ta’en —
|
| By whom, know I not; |
| 'lack! |
| am I of twain —
|
| And as a crux — cede I my words —
|
| Have I been 'sooth sinsyne
|
| Fro my heart wilt thou ne’er
|
| Be left without — come!
|
| Thine voice is oh so sweet, I speer thine pine
|
| Ryking for me:
|
| «List and heed», thou say’st
|
| Chancing to lure
|
| Skirl and skreigh, but for thine ears, aye, lown 'tis —
|
| Dodge na 'way herefro, do come here in eath!
|
| Mayhap luréd by the scent of lote —
|
| 'Od! |
| — the fœtid — eft hie back I mote;
|
| For what I did my soul atrouncéd
|
| O! |
| do believe me, 'twasn't a frounce
|
| How I wish for thee again
|
| Will I give thee it: Troth
|
| Thine voice is oh so sweet, I speer thine pine
|
| Ryking for me:
|
| «List and heed», thou say’st
|
| Chancing to lure
|
| Skirl and skreigh, but for thine ears, aye, lown 'tis —
